- A Russian government official is expecting to mine 20% of the world’s Bitcoin.
- There is a metal factory that Russian Mining Company plan on using for mining operations.
Russian Mining Company (RMC) plans to repurpose a metal factory in the country’s northern province of Karelia, according to local financial news outlet RBC.
Closed back in 2018 as a result of US sanctions in 2018, the ex-Rusal facility could soon host a Bitcoin (BTC) mining farm so large it could account for one-fifth of global output.
The ombudsman, CEO Dmitry Marinichev, said:
Our idea consists of converting the factory and selling its computer power as a service, that is to say, offering IT services
